More recently, Nino Famą has dedicated himself to writing works of fiction. His latest novel Loceano nel pozzo (Pellegrini) was published in 2013, following another successful novel, La stanza segreta (Sciascia, 2004). The latter was translated into English as The Secret Room (Legas, 2008). These are only his latest literary accomplishments.

ŲHis work offers an intriguing fusion of North-American themes - alienation, sense of loss in a consumeristic society - with cultural and stylistic connotations originating from Italian, Sicilian experiences and Latin American literary influences.
